Influx of Women and Children at the USA’s Southern Border with Mexico

Psalm 82:3-5

Hebrews 3:1-3

Let brotherly love continue. Do not be negligent in showing hospitality, for in doing so some entertained angels without knowing it. Keep in mind those who are in prison as if you are in prison with them, and the ill-treated as though you are suffering physically yourselves.
